The ChameleOn's Colorat ION.

Blu. of all the parti eolored reptiles the
chameleon is by far the best known. and
on the whole the most remarkable for his
Inconsistency of coloratiOn. Like lacer-
tine Vicar of Bray, he varies incontinently
from buff to blue, and from blue back to
orange again, under stress of circunlstan-
ccs. The mechanism of this curious
change is extremely complex. Tiny cor
puscles of different pigments are some
times hidden in the depths OF the chame-
Icons skin, and sometimes spread out on
its surface in an intcrlacing network of
brown or purple. In addition to this
prime coloring matter, however, the ami
NAL also possesses normal yellow pig
ment and blush layer in the skin
which acts like the iridium glass so largely
employed by DIR. Salviati, being seen as
straw colored with a transmitted light,
but assuming faint lilac tint against an
opaque absorbent surface. While sleep
ing the chameleon becomes almost white
in the shade, but if light falls upon him
he slowly darkens by an automatic pro-
cess.-Cornhill Magazine.

That the worm will turn, under certain
provocation, is an undisputed axiom, but to
what avail it has ever been difficult to dis
cover. The Volks Zeitung is plucky, out
spoken Journal, and in consequence Prince
Bismarck caused the editor to be proceeded
against but failed in the undertaking. Now
the proprietor has turned plaintiff and has
prosecuted the German chancellor for parlia-
mentary offenses against the paper and its
editor, The public prosecutor, however, has
given it as his decision that, as Prince Bis
marck is general of cavalry, he can only be
made answerable to a military court.
To this The Volks Zeitung retorts that the
prince has never commanded with the colors
and that his rank of general is purely honor
airy. In support of this view it draws atten-
ton to the fact that only the other day the
chancellor exercised, as he always has done,
his right of voting for parliamentary can
didats, although soldiers on active service en-
joy no electoral privileges The Volks lei
tung announces quito seriously that it intends
to carry the case through all the civil courts,
and, If necessary, before a military tribunal
which will have one effect, that of worrying
the chancellor to desperate resorts, as he has
a terror of anything in the way of cross
examination. This contest between the pigmy
and the giant will arouse u great deal of
interest in the fathefland

A BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY.

Lo, the VIC struggle shipwrecked in the seas;
Round whom the great storms darken; in whose
ears
Their thunders roar; whose straining limbs, that
strive
Strongly against their fate, drenched with
foam,
Through breaches of the rollers seem to hear,
Far inland where the suniit plains extend,
The Fittings Of the shepherds and the cries
of harvest jewellers, gracious strain;
Some rare stop briefly touched along the pipe
OF ocean song fer now again the storm
Darkens and deafens them. No more they toll.
The cords and sails shaken by the wind
Unheesied over them; the tall masts strain
The vessels laboring sides. but wind or rain
Or wave shall do them no more violence
VINO lie at rest forever. Now the singer
Finds joy of song unmarried, now love remains
Forever true, and youth forever young.
